Topic: The Best of Us: The FIYH Forum Greatest Hits

I dunno about you, but I sometimes like to read through old threads, so I thought it could be a fun idea to revisit a few and come up with a 'Greatest Hits' of the forum. So here's my proposal: you post some links to threads that you believe are the best of the best - along with a brief reason why and if we get enough submissions, we can have some sort of voting system to determine a top (arbitrary number) definitive list of The Best of Us.

To start things off, I've put together a list of 10 threads I think would be suited. Note, I wouldn't say these are my Top 10 - but they are certainly 10 I would deem worthy of inclusion. Don't worry about submitting a ton of links yourself, one or two is fine - I just think if I'm starting the ball rolling, I may as well overcompensate.

Great idea! Just looking at your list shows me how much I've missed and I'd love to see the gold in this mine.My own recommendation is a bit paltry but I really enjoyed the responses and nightmares I got from it. One of my first posts here.

My personal fave: Is there a God and why? If any thread could have gone completely to hell it would have been this one, but the conversation remained civil if at times heated throughout, and eventually devolved into dirty limericks.

Well, a thing happened. I would like to think I helped us cope as we worked through a difficult time.

If anyone wants to add colors to match chatroom colors, be my guest, I can't be assed quite that much.

What.Sébastien: Wtf.Tom: So what he's saying is that godaddy just had a hard drive failure and had no backups?Tom: That doesn't add up, as that'd probably kill the database too, which wouldn't give us a "it's working" message, right?Andrew: How is that a thing. I know GD sucks but that's... Basic sruddAndrew: Stuff *Tom: Srudd indeedTom: If it is the case, I can probably imagine the site is down forever.Sébastien: Site structure is probably stored locally by Holden or something, but the forum archive might be gone in that case yeah.Tom: I wouldn't even begin to set it up again at that point.Alex: Tom: Podcast stopped a while ago, it's novelty at this point ':(Sébastien: Ah, we'll see.
